> So just after lunch, I tuned from 7.1 to 7.3 and heard only one station very weak that I could not hear well enough to get the call.  I just tuned from 7.0 to 7.3 and heard only two CW signals one IDed while I was listening and he was a 9 station.  Both were very weak and atmospheric noise is high.
